Space Elevator final tier requirements

[MisterCrow]

Do you get anything for completing the final tier requirements for the space elevator? I've already opened up all eight tiers, so just wondering if it's worth the huge effort to set up another massive factory to meet the 4000+ part requirement, just to get nothing for it!

You´ll get the golden coffee cup and the requirement for the next two tiers 9 and 10. So I don´t get your problem: the game is about building factories and produce parts......

[Huren Ogeko]

You make it sound like setting up a huge factory is a bad thing. its half the reason people play this game is to make these factories and see them work.

for me once I unlock all the tiers have have all the things (like mk5 belts and mk3 miners and other the almighty blender) its then time to build my actual factory. most of what I did before gets re build and optimized and I push towards maxing production and using everything on the mas as efficiently as possible. Also I actually begin working on the ascetics and finalize the theme I want to have everything be. And I just experiment with new ideas and new things as well. and then sooner or later a new update hits and I seem compelled to start all over from a fresh start again.

so there...that is what I do when I unlock the final tier and last milestones. What I get from this is endless creative license to do anything I want and try new things and new looks.

I mean I consider making 720 plates/min in one spot a small factory, so 4000+ being massive is a bit subjective. Have you tried offloading 1-step and 2-step production off site and closer to the nodes? Generally helps not to import those in to your large factories.

I assume he talks about the 4.000 parts for the space elevator. ;-)

[Huren Ogeko]

I assume it unlocks phase 5 when they give us phase 5. I thought he was talking about how the game seems to have nothing else to do after you complete phase 4

No I get that, it's a drop in the bucket to build those parts.

[MisterCrow]

No, not a bad / negative thing at all. I just find that I get bored once there's nothing new to open up or gain.

Early access, game's not finished, yada, yada, yada, but, in the end, consider that your Satisfactory world is an MMO character that you are leveling up in a game with no ending, and completing tiers is ultimately just a minor side quest that can be done with as much, or as little, effort as you deem necessary.

Viewing your world as such, your ultimate goal is simply to continue to improve your character, from general stats and equipment to cosmetics. The faster you can move around your factories and world, the faster you can transport resources to new areas, the more resources you can move, the quicker and more efficiently you can build products, the more coupons you can generate, and the better your world looks: these are the character stats that you are truly working to improve, and they are what define success in Satisfactory.

It is an open world so get what you want out of it. I enjoy flying around the world watching stuff being created, tinkering around the edges, seeing if I can get more out of less... "the journey is the reward..." etc...

Just ignore it if you want. I ignore the tiers if I'm happy with my tech level, which is most of the time.

Just do what you like, who cares about space elevator, it's currently pointless anyway.

what most people do is try to build them faster...see how effecient they can get their factory to complete the final phase in the shortest amount of time...although its essentially going into a sink as the phase is likely done this point. its just the challenge and personal achievement to see how quickly you can produce those 4000 parts.
or maybe you have some other lofty goal to meet. Its a sandbox game with tech progression...so once you unlock everything the end game goal is really just a matter of personal preference.

If your up for trying mods, after the final I went ahead and tried out the 100+ milestone mod, side note, prepare for more items added to the game most of which are no where near each other and to have more logistics going then the US currently does for Semis

[Huren Ogeko]

that mod might be too insane for me. I have more then enough to do to survive tier 7/8 right now. I am keeping that one on the back burner.

[NZ.Zero]

yeah, my main production builds at 7/8 (which is where I am too) are about revisiting factories I built minimally earlier on and maxxing out the nodes, beefing up production lines, that kind of thing. Most of the early tiers have such small amounts of items that you can hand craft some of them. One of them I even just bought the items using awesome sink vouchers! So backfilling is the main production-based thing I'm doing at 7/8. Oh and building an enormous heavy frames factory to pay for all the trains.

I find that a lot - the main tiers really are too easy, and you need to go back and backfill because meeting the requirements just required throwing a few things together or doing it by hand. The tiers reallty should require larger amounts of items to balance the game better. ... and compared to those tiers, Space Elevator 4 seems ridiculously unbalanced, so you end up playing for long periods of time without any realistic milestones.

When I get to oil I think that is complicated with its byproducts I need to factor into the ratios. then I get to aluminum and oil looks like a cake walk.
I only imagine what comes in tier 9/10
